#' fit a glm with all the options in \code{glmnet}
#'
#' Fit a generalized linear model as in \code{glmnet} but unpenalized. This
#' allows all the features of \code{glmnet} such as sparse x, bounds on
#' coefficients, offsets, and so on.
#'
#' This is essentially the same as fitting a "glmnet" model with a single value
#' \code{lambda=0}, but it avoids some edge cases. CAVEAT: If the user tries a
#' problem with N smaller than or close to p for some models, it is likely to
#' fail (and maybe not gracefully!) If so, use the \code{path=TRUE} argument.
#'
#' @param x input matrix
#' @param ... Most other arguments to glmnet that make sense
#' @param path  Since \code{glmnet} does not do stepsize optimization, the Newton
#' algorithm can get stuck and not converge, especially with unpenalized fits. With \code{path=TRUE},
#' the  fit computed with pathwise lasso regularization. The current implementation does this twice:
#' the first time to get the lambda sequence, and the second time with a zero attached to the end).
#' Default is \code{path=FALSE}.
#' @return It returns an object of class "bigGlm" that inherits from class
#' "glmnet". That means it can be predicted from, coefficients extracted via
#' \code{coef}. It has its own print method.
